<br>
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - GNSO COUNCIL
<br>
<br>
In accordance with both the ICANN bylaws and the ISPCP bylaws,
<br>
this is the official call for nominations to two open seats for
<br>
the GNSO Council.
<br>
<br>
According to the ISPCP Articles adopted at the Santiago meeting
<br>
of the ISP and Connectivity Providers constituency (and later
<br>
amended between the Melbourne and Stockholm ICANN meetings)
<br>
an election of representatives to the Names Council is to take
<br>
place when representative's terms expire or when vacancies for
<br>
the representative positions exist.
<br>
<br>
With the adoption of the 2004 version of the ICANN By-laws, <br>
the ISPCP
is required to elect two members to the GNSO Council. <br>
These
members will be taking the seats currently held by Tony <br>
Harris and Greg Ruth.
<br>
<br>
We are looking for two people from the constituency to fill
<br>
these positions.
<br>
<br>
The ISPCP Articles call for a nomination period of two weeks.
<br>
<br>
As has been the policy of the constituency since the Stockholm
<br>
ICANN meeting we ask the people currently holding the position
<br>
of representative to the gNSO Names Council to continue in that
<br>
role during the election process. Accordingly, the ISPCP
<br>
Secretariat has asked Tony and Greg to continue in this role
<br>
until the completion of the election.
<br>
<br>
Every member of the ISPCP may nominate one candidate for the
<br>
available position.
<br>
<br>
This mail requests that you nominate eligible ISPCP members to
<br>
be elected to the GNSO Names Council.
<br>
<br>
To make a nomination please mail the following information to the
<br>
election manager:
<br>
<br>
--> the name of the nominee
<br>
--> the electronic mail address of the nominee
<br>
--> the ISPCP member organization to which the nominee belongs
<br>
--> if possible, a voice phone number for the nominee
<br>
<br>
During the nomination period, potential nominees will be asked
<br>
to indicate their willingness to serve as a representative to
<br>
the gNSO Names Council.
<br>
<br>
The nomination period
<br>
opens on Sunday, 5 November 2006 at 2200 GMT
<br>
closes on Sunday, 19 November 2006 at 2200 GMT
<br>
<br>
